i know that you posted this a while ago, and i hope you got one in that time. Im having the same problem with my dad, just read what i commented.

hey, i really want an african grey parrot. Im 13, making my own money (babysitting etc), and my dad is totally against it. He said that i have to write 100 page essay to convince him, and it has to be good! I've written proper essays before with the MLA format, all i need is good topics and plenty of openers. He was really concerned with disease, i showed him 4 i could get and explained why i wouldn't be able to get them. I will definitely put that in the essay, but its 100 pages! there's only so much i could say about 4 diseases! He also asked me how i would feel if i was in a cage, but the thing is im planning to save up for a HUGE one. Like a dog kennel for 2 dogs type of size (obviously for a bird but i'm just trying to get you guys to understand what i mean).Im planning to save up ...

He recently bought me a hamster which i am grateful for, but he says i already have a dog, hamster, and cat. So he wont let me get a bird, even if i pay for it! And i told him the cat is moms but he wont listen to me. Please help me with topics and openers!
